    i have had many 28 resplined but if you take a small amount out of the rear end . you may not be able to use the old axles there is a under size so you can not get them splined in the under size part of the shaft . they roll the splines from ford not cut so it get big as it get rolled thru when splined the low spot is part not rolled . if you can find 31 you can get them turn down and splined if you have a 28 center some times you can get one axles shaft cut down and move them around in the housing sometimes this works to if you want the drive shaft on center
